Introduction & Supplies

I usually prefer the "real thing" when it comes to gemstone and pearl beads, but I am very impressed with Swarovski's line of faux pearl beads. They come in wonderful colors and are perfectly round, one advantage to man-made pearls. Teamed with some of their famous crystal beads, you can't help but feel glamorous when you wear these.

You'll need:
4 - 8mm Swarovski pearls in dusty rose
2 - 6mm AB Swarovski bicone crystals
2 - flower end sterling head pins
2 - sterling ear hooks
10 - 12 inches of sterling 22-gauge deads soft wire
Round-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
Flat-nosed pliers
